Review 22/ Jan/ 2016 - Used this for 2 months... I dont know if AP got a new batch of these but this marker is a good writer. great on name badges and Eggshells, the nib is the reversible Side 1- round flat tip, Side 2- a flat chisel w/ no bevil, so it's great for Calligraffiti/Handstyles. This marker comes filled with Ink, the flow was fine some streaking but thats what scrap papers for. You can open the nib a little, don't go crazy with the hammer. Ink is dark like a New Sharpie and writes about the same. After 2months In direct sun light we got some fading (FLORIDA tested) that's expected, if you haven't hung new blanks up in 2 months, your slacking.
-Personally, This is a good beginners marker to learn on or a great practice pen for Handstyles.
So If your new to Writing I would pick-up the AP-P15 over a Krink-K70/71 and spend the saving on a good mop! I go for function, before hype.
